1968 Map of Gilbert

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The mining-era settlement of Gilbert sits at the heart of this landscape in the Monte Cristo Range. The 1968 field check reveals a network of Jeep Trails connecting the remote outpost to numerous prospects scattered across the high desert terrain. This map records the layout of the area's water sources, critical to survival and industry, including Cook Spring, a solitary Well, and several unnamed Springs. Evidence of earlier industrial activity is noted at the Norman Mill (Site), south of the primary settlement. The distribution of mining claims and access roads reflects the mid-century persistence of mineral exploration in Esmeralda County, where scattered works define the human presence against the high ridges of the Nevada desert.
